A Note From Our Director

As is almost always the case, it started out with a child. In 1973 there were few opportunities for children with Autism. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and its Federal predecessor PL: 94-142 were several years away from passage, and the notion that a child’s Autism was caused by his or her mother’s emotional rejection was still accepted in many parts of the professional community.

Clinical Insights

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a child’s development across many areas, including language, cognition, social, emotional, and academic functioning. Children with autism can often be taught the skills that they lack through carefully crafted treatment interventions.

The first step to seeking treatment for yourself or a loved one can be the hardest part of the process and feel very overwhelming. Our entire team, from administrators to clinicians, understand this and are here to help you with the process.
